Abstract
The research entitled “Wright’sNative Son: A Powerful Explosion of Deferred
Dreams” explores the political dimension in the light of the Negro Art and the New
Historicism. This novel is impregnated with a consciousness of revolution, revolt and
resistance for a meaningful change and transformation of the American society. Like a
political slogan, novel function to awaken the consciousness of revolution in the minds of
the Afro-Americans and working class people to fight against the racist and the capitalist
world order-a powerful explosion of deferred dreams. They strive for a world that is free
of racial and class discrimination. Therefore, Wright has employed his writing as a
dynamic location for staging rebellion against the most repressive featuresof racism and
the most suppressive features of capitalism. However, his rebellion carries a deep
political vision, that is, to achieve an equal socio-political rights for every citizen, and
thus, to create a world of freedom, liberty, justice and equality.
